REARDAN–After serving in the police department here for 10 years, Officer Bryan Gordon retired on Oct. 31. Gordon transitioned into law enforcement in 2013 after working as a medic in Newman Lake. "As a medic, I responded to medical emergencies and found myself more interested in what the police officers were doing than in my job," he said. During his tenure, he worked under several chiefs, but was most grateful to Chief Andy Manke for his contributions to the department. "Whe...
REARDAN-Coach Brian Graham welcomed 22 boys to the Screaming Eagles' first basketball practice of the season on Nov. 14. In his eighth season at the helm, Graham is optimistic his team will improve on last year's 10-12 record. "Last year we started two freshmen," he said, "but now they are sophomores. We have some kids with high-level skills, but overall, we are still young." Prior to the first practice, he met with each player to discuss the season. "They have high...
DAVENPORT-A first-year head coach that has been an assistant coach for over 20 years. Four wrestlers returning that competed at the Tacoma Dome last year. And for the first time, two females ready to make school history. That's the current situation for the Davenport wrestling team, that began practice under new head coach Matt Schneider this week. Schneider, a local rancher that was an accomplished wrestler in his own right in the 1990's, will head the team after being an ass...

REARDAN–This year's Screaming Eagles girls basketball team may be short handed, but Coach Bob Swannack believes his senior-laden squad will be competitive in the NE2B League. Swannack graduated eight players from last year's team that finished 13-7. The Screaming Eagles may be unable to field a junior varsity team this year due to low player turnout. "Because this team played in the shadow of last year's seniors, we are going to have to learn on the fly," Swannack said. Though...
REARDAN–The Screaming Eagles open the 2022-23 wrestling season with 20 athletes on the roster, several of whom competed in last year's state tournament. First year head coach Justin Neufeld praised his team for their cohesiveness, strong work ethic and positive attitude. "This year you're going to see hard-nosed wrestling," he said. "With the experience we have, I expect we will be strong again this year." Neufeld reserved special praise for team leaders JC Merriott, Conner K...
REARDAN–On Election Day, Nov. 8, Reardan-Edwall School District voters made their feelings known regarding a five-year capital levy to fund improvements to the school’s facilities. After the polls closed, the levy was failing 931–655. Since then, absentee votes were tallied which widened the gap, resulting in the levy’s probable defeat. Funds from the levy would have reimbursed the district for lights already purchased and installed for the football field, new tennis courts, a rubberized track and a new transpo...
REARDAN-Local resident Clay Soliday is historian, detective and treasure hunter. Armed with his metal detector, he finds vintage baubles, rare coins and everything in between. Soliday started collecting coins in Kettle Falls when he was in fifth grade. He and a buddy discovered an abandoned car while playing "cops and robbers." He found an old coin under the backseat and was hooked. In 1982 he won $1,500 in a bowling league, which he spent on his first metal detector. By then...
REARDAN–Town Council discussed the need to demolish the park pavilion at its meeting Thursday, Nov. 3. Councilmembers have solicited several bids to remove the 30-year-old structure from its concrete pad. Public works director Bob Winn reported the weathered structure’s roof is rotting. He said there is no timeline to raze the structure but that it needs to be done “as soon as possible.” “The building was good for its time, but needs to come down before somebody gets hurt,” Winn said. “It has served us well, but it has to...

COLFAX – Reardan volleyball was in control of its own destiny after defeating Davenport on Nov. 2.

Reardan was initially able to keep pace with Upper Columbia Academy – losing, albeit by a narrow margin, in the early stages of the first set 9-6. This was the closest the Screaming Eagles came to...

REARDAN-The Screaming Eagles slogged through the mud en route to a 6-0 win over the Colfax Bulldogs in both teams' last football game on Friday, Nov. 4. The field was splotches of green grass and snow at kickoff.. By the end of the first quarter, it was a quagmire; the mud obscured the players' numbers. Much of the game was back and forth in the middle of the field. Neither team experienced success through the air, so relied mostly on runs up the middle. Reardan's Jaquin Strob...

One recent October day, I looked around and suddenly realized things had changed. No, it wasn’t the fact that since my recent marriage, I can’t seem to find where anything is located in the kitchen. It was newspaper-related, and it was an excellent change: We had a staff, a staff that is doing an exceptional job at their vocation. As a result, our advertising has grown (please keep it this way and keep buying ads, Lincoln County businesses, please and thank you), our sto...
REARDAN-–The local school district's five-year capital levy to fund improvements to athletic facilities and the construction of a transportation cooperative facility was failing 931-655, with up to 1,000 votes yet to be tallied from ballots in Lincoln County after votes were counted on election night, Nov. 8. The levy would increase property taxes by approximately $285 for property valued at $300,000. Funds from the levy would reimburse the district for lights already p...
